I'm considering buying a new 43" 4k screen to pair up with my X34a. I would use it for games that don't support 21:9 and watching football & movies.

Budget is probably around £700 max, although I don't expect to have to go that high. Any suggestions?

There's a thread dedicated to a particular Samsung TV, the hisence is heavily mentioned in it too, and the later can be had for £280(ish) making it a steal
 
Are you sensitive to PWM*? The only TVs using direct current are Sony. Almost every PC monitor produced in the last few years is flicker free, for good reason.

Sadly the only suitable TVs are the Sony KD43XE8004 (IPS Panel) or Sony KD43XD8088 (VA Panel), neither of which are cheap compared to their alternatives.

*Everyone is sensitive tbh and those claiming otherwise are damaging their nervous system unknowingly, but that's a separate discussion.

My budget could stretch to the Sony's. Thanks for the info.
 
Any suggestions on a 27" 1440p screen as another alternative option? Purpose being web browsing, productivity etc.. and the odd game that doesn't support 21:9 res?
 
Almost pulled the trigger on the IPS Sony above (KD43XE8004 @£589) when I saw this one KD43XE7093BU on a one day special (5hrs left) @ £399.

Any reason not to go for it (appreciate I may not get a reply in time :p).
 
I'm looking at these again, and just wanted to resurrect as I'm on the hunt for suggestions. I see the Sony KD43XE8004 is still available at £539 from Amazon. Is this still the best choice at the 43" size?

I've ruled out OLED as I can't go to 55" in the office I use.

I don't want landed with a Supermarket grade flop!
 
I had the LG 43" briefly and really liked it, low input lag too. Only reason I took it back is because Gsync has spoiled me rotten :(

I don't know why, but I find TV gaming through the PC to be a real let-down. Just not responsive enough imo, but again I'm comparing it to a FaF Gsync screen so it's slightly unfair.

I don't know if it's the DP connection, but I found the LG to sit between a Gsync screen and a TV in terms of PC gaming (I tried a 43" 4k Phillips and a 55" B7 OLED).

Which specific model is that, is it the LG 43UJ670V? The lack of Gsync is not an issue as I'm using this in addition to my X34a.
